If I had had the willpower to taper I probably would not have been an addict. Once hooked it's really really hard to taper. I think you need medical advice or a medical detox to help you out. A doctor can help you with the worst of this. I went cold on my meds but you must realize I was on a fairly low dose to begin with of hyrdros my last time on withdrawing. It is not easy no matter how you slice it.
